Oscar Wilde

They overdo everything - they love too much, hate too much, and the same with everything else.
Aristotle
-
Why have women passion, intellect, moral activity - these three - and a place in society where no one of the three can be exercised? Men say that God punishes for complaining. No, but men are angry with misery. They are irritated with women for not being happy. They take it as a personal offence. To God alone may women complain without insulting Him!
Florence Nightingale
